Hi!

Maybe I'm happy after all! It really depends on the answer of the question I have.

I found what like to be a ton of photo's which were stored in a .VDI file. Does photorec or testdisk read inside the .VDI file and recover any photo's or other files in it?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I already did this and it finds a lot of .vdi files which are no bigger then 3,2 Gb and the smallest is like 86 Kb or so. Also when trying to mount those volumes it says there are duplicate UUID's in play and cannot be mounted.

If you want to learn then you can use the man command. The command man stands for manual so not only chown much more commands have this manual.

If I'm not mistaken then you could try this:
If you want or need to know more about the chown command then you can use:
Press q on the keyboard to quit and exit the manual.

Did you try some commands?

For example: Or in case of a folder / directory:

Thank you for replying! That is the thing, it was a 500Gb file, so the real question here is... Is there a pot of glue somewhere so that I can fix this?

I already knew about the .vdi files and mounting in a VM. I did find the .vdi in question but it seems that it is just about 2,1 Mb of size. When ...

Can someone please answer me? How can I recover the files I need?

It seems that I found what I was looking for but there are some thing I would like to understand.

I found a .vdi file which physical size is 2,1 Mb, however, when I mount it in a virtual machine then it says that its virtual size is 500 Gb. It also says this:


user@user-VirtualBox ~ $ sudo mount ...

Alright, I have like 180 files of .vdi files. Are those files fragments or just single file? If they are fragments, how do I recover them?

Hi there,

I would like to have some help with recovering a .vdi file. I deleded it by accident and would like it back because this is a data disk. Since I'm not really used to this kind of thing (normally I'm very careful) I need some help to understand this.

Let me give you some information ...
